Alright, so if she starts getting molested she's on her own. I'll be sure to tell her that before the next time we go to a club or bar. Duels don't happen only because of petty disagreements. Instead of thinking about what people duel for, please, think about what YOU would duel someone over. If the answer is you'd never duel someone to the death, why be in support of having it legal? You keep admitting all these rules need to be attached to prevent abuses and paper work and this and that and blah blah blah. It's like you're admitting all the obvious pitfalls of having dueling legal and then saying, "Meh, whatever. Let's do it anyway." I just don't get the "logic."SultanP said:Alright, fine. If you feel that you lose face just by refusing to fight someone, that's your problem, I personally don't feel ashamed if I don't agree to engage in violence just because of some stupid disagreement.
Also, if dueling became legal, I see it as having a bunch of rules attached to it. Such as having to be made official and legal by signing of papers, and the presence of some sort of state or city official. This means that if two people really did want to duel each other, they could, but you couldn't just kill someone and call it a duel, and you certainly couldn't engage in any duels on a whim, with it still being legal.
First off, how would you solve the problem of someone hitting on your girl now, when duels aren't legal? Do that even if duels are legal, it wouldn't have to affect your life.liquidangry said:Alright, so if she starts getting molested she's on her own.
